A member asked:
I have a minimal right aprical fibrosis. what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means: there is an area of scarring in the upper part of your right lung. It could be due to many causes, such as prior infection, but if it is an incidental finding and you are otherwise asymptomatic it may be of no concern. Talk to your doc about the results.
